Private Jet Catering at Bandaranaike International Colombo Airport (VCBI / CMB), Colombo
CMB inflight catering meets the discipline your crew expects: cold-chain controlled from seal to galley, held in chilled transport through delayed slots, and handed over airside in Colombo with full traceability for every private aviation catering order.
When a dish must hold at altitude and arrive as intended, Elodie Dubois builds it with that constraint in mind. Seasoning is adjusted for cabin humidity, textures are chosen to survive a galley reheat, and garnishes are packed separately where they would otherwise wilt or bleed. Elodie answers your enquiry directly, writes the menu to your brief, and tracks the order through to airside handover at CMB. That single line of contact removes ambiguity and keeps the brief intact from kitchen to cabin.
Elodie Dubois brings refined French culinary expertise to the world of private aviation. Trained in classical techniques and passionate about gastronomic excellence, she creates sophisticated menus that transform high-altitude dining into an unforgettable journey of flavors.
Crew, handling agents, and the flight deck all work to the same slot list, and the kitchen preparing your order does the same. To order private jet catering for a departure from CMB, allow the lead time that reflects your manifest size and any dietary restrictions—typically twenty-four to forty-eight hours, compressed when the week is light. A private jet catering quote is issued within two hours of your enquiry. Cold-chain discipline holds from sealing through handover: every tray is labelled, every crew meal documented, every container designed to sit through a delayed departure without loss.

Jet catering Colombo
CMB inflight catering relies on temperature discipline that begins the moment plating is complete. Each dish is sealed in the kitchen preparing your order, moved under refrigerated conditions, and held in dedicated cold rooms until your departure slot. If the aircraft is delayed, cold-chain control remains unbroken—documented, traceable, and built to absorb schedule shifts without compromising what you serve. Business aviation catering for Bandaranaike International Colombo Airport includes allergen protocols on every label, same-day production timed to your ETA, and a handover process that keeps chilled items chilled and hot items above threshold through galley stow. You receive the meal as it was plated, not as logistics allowed.

Each item is portioned per seat, labelled with literal allergen information, and sealed in containers that fit standard galley refrigeration. The menu reflects what can be sourced fresh and what the cabin environment will support, written as it would appear on your service.

Ramp delivery and handling at Bandaranaike International Colombo Airport
VIP flight catering delivered airside at Bandaranaike International
At cruise altitude, cabin air pressure drops moisture from every surface, and a galley oven reheats unevenly. VIP flight catering and charter flight catering for CMB are built against that reality: sauces reduced to coat rather than pool, vegetables cut to retain texture after a second heat, seasoning calibrated for a dry environment. Your order is delivered airside in temperature-controlled vehicles, handed to your FBO or ramp-side at the aircraft door, at the time you set. High loader transfer is confirmed at the time of order for larger cabin types.
